Many times we neglect our neck area. Remember when cleansing, moisturizing and exfoliated to not forget the neck. The neck and shoulder area is another area in which we carry stress. A massage to this area is of great benefit. You do not have to pay a massage therapist for such a treatment as you can perform a neck massage yourself. You can stimulate lymphatic drainage by performing the following technique. Remember to use care when massaging the neck.After performing your daily skin care regimine, find a relaxing area to sit. First, carefully and gently place your fingers on either side of the neck just under the ears. Gently manipulate the skin in a downward motion toward the back of your neck. Repeat this approximately ten times while changing the position of your fingers each time to a lower position on the neck further away from the ears. Now, move your fingers to the tops of your shoulders. Gently and carefully massage the skin toward the collarbone. Do this approximately five times.
Chakras: The Throat
The neck is the location of the throat chakra. The color representing this chakra is blue. In this area, we verbalize and communicate. This chakra governs knowledge, health and decision making.
You can perform yoga asanas that open the throat area. Take a wide stance, facing the toes outward slightly. Interlace your fingers behind the back while keeping your arms staright and let the shoulders relax down and back. Let your head drop behind you, opening the throat. You are still in a standing position. Take five to ten deep breaths.
